Abstract
An elongate weatherstrip is described comprising a sealing body of foamed synthetic resin material encased in a very thin, very flexible membrane of substantially 2 mils in thickness or less. The sealing body has elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow rib portion. A flexible elongate anchoring member of uniform cross section of a material less compressible than the synthetic resin material is affixed to the anchoring lobe.
Claims13
An elongate weatherstrip comprising:
- an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed synthetic resin material,
- said sealing bodyhaving a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow elongate rib portion of resilient foamed synthetic resin material;
- a thin flexible moisture resistant coating covering at least said sealing lobe and said rib portion;
- and
- a flexible elongate hook-shaped anchoring member of a material less compressible than said synthetic resin material enclosing at least a portion of said anchoring lobe and resiliently biased into an open position by said resin material.
An elongate weatherstrip according to claim l wherein said anchoring member comprises an elongate paper strip.
An elongate weatherstrip comprising:
- an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material;
- said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by an elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material;
- a thin flexible moisture resistant coating covering at least said sealing lobe and said rib portion;
- and
- said anchoring lobe including a flexible elongate generally V-shaped anchoring member having first and second portions defining an acute angle therebetween and including a wedge-shaped portion of resilient foamed resin material therebetween for imparting resiliency to said anchoring member whereby said weatherstrip may be easily inserted into a slot by compressing said V-shaped member and securely held therein by said anchoring member when said V-shaped member expands within said slot.
An elongate weatherstrip comprising:
- an elongate sealing body of resilient foamed resin material,
- said sealing body having a pair of elongate sealing and anchoring lobes joined by a narrow elongate rib portion of resilient foamed resin material;
- and
- a hook-shaped flexible elongate anchoring member of a material characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion between about 1.0.times.10.sup.-6 and 10.0.times.10.sup.-6 inches per inch per degree fahrenheit and less compressible than said foamed resin material and enclosing at least a part of said anchoring lobe.
